6 | APRIL 2016 AUSTRALIAN HOTELIER
PLS REVIEW
The inaugural Pub Leaders Summit has been
hailed a success, with an incredible line-up
of speakers imparting their knowledge and
experience to a sold out crowd. Audience
favourites included hotel legend Arthur Laundy, C.inc
operator Chris Cheung, and Sand Hill Road director
Andy Mullins.
Paddy Coughlan of Bourke Street began
proceedings with a cracking keynote speech on the
need for hoteliers to adapt their skills to changing
markets, and set the standard for what was a day of
thought-provoking sessions.
One of the big topics of the day was lockouts and
the increasing red tape of compliance. Chris Cheung,
Ben Stephens of Solotel and Patrick Gallagher of
Gallagher Hotels all spoke eloquently on the impact
lockout legislation has had on Sydney nightlife, while
moderator Stephen Hunt of Hunt Hospitality talked
about his experience with the Newcastle lockouts.
The issue also arose in other sessions throughout
the day, with Solotel's COO Justine Baker, Paddy
Coughlan and Arthur Laundy all expressing their
distaste for the lockouts and in particular the
increasingly aggressive presence of licensing officials
-- while also acknowledging that these measures are
likely here to stay and good operators would adapt to
the current pub environment.
There were some fantastically informative
VIEW FROM THE
SUMMIT
THE FIRST-EVER PUB LEADERS SUMMIT WAS HELD IN SYDNEY ON 21 MARCH
AND THE VERDICT IS IN -- IT WAS AN INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL EVENT,
WITH A RAPT AUDIENCE TAKING AWAY SOME GREAT IDEAS FROM
INCREDIBLE SPEAKERS AND SPONSORS.
"All I can say
is please do
it again next
year, but do it
across two days,
because I'm
sure everyone
here would love
to come back
for a second
day. But I'd say
congratulations
-- it's an
amazing event --
well done!"
